I genuinely enjoy programming on windows. Perhaps because I don’t try to force windows to be linux, but PowerShell is genuinely good.
The only issues I face are when other developers do non-cross platform things. Like use bash for build scripts.
Anything touching disk, such as reading a bunch of source files is just so much slower on windows right now. From what I hear it improves a little if you actually go through the Linux subsystem, but it just can’t touch native Linux performance.
Just switching OS will seriously improve your DX because of the faster compiles.
Use a ReFS partition.
